This Saturday: Interesting Offerings at the Houston Classic Auction

This weekend Worldwide Auctioneers are offering 110 cars at their Houston Classic Auction, with well over half having no reserve. Below are some of our favorites.

This 1960 Mercedes Benz 220S is claimed to have only 5603 original miles, and looks slick in black and red. The no-reserve auction estimate is an impressive $40-$60k, so we will be watching this one closely.

The 1950 Nash Healey Roadster below is said to be the first ever American sports car, being the first Nash Healy and owned by Donald Healey himself. We like these early examples even better than the inboard-headlight cars that came after.

The Porsche 911 race car below (Chassis 307637S) is said to be a genuine ‘S’ model, and we featured it as a 1967 model here on BaT in January when it sold quickly off of Craigslist. The car is well prepared and was a class winner at the Carrera. We love the look of this car, but honestly our first reaction was to run the mental numbers on the return to stock given the bonkers values of restored SWB 911S cars.
